ok guys


i got it all working


bit of a fannying around but heres the info


you need a bit of third partysoftware for window 7 to see the lacie little big disk (thunderbolt)


first up


you need to let it add a few drivers


re boot


let it add a few drivers


reboot


then for some reason my ethernet and wifi adaptors had vanished


so right click, my computer, device manger


click on the 3 drivers that i think were in other devices that were not yet fuctioning


and reinstall drivers for each the devices are


ethernet

wifi

base device (once driver reinstall this is actually THUNDERBOLT)


then jump to


http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/pro/


this allows you to mount apple raid volumes


quick 69.99 usd later and a reboot and your LACIE THUNDERBOLT LITTLE BIG DRIVE is fully accessable in windows 7



it also allowed the daisychaining of my external display


so alls good in bootcamp land


thought id share as it took me 2 hours or so to find the solution that LACIE says does not exist


laters
